Yesterday I had two Find-A-Grave genealogy research moments.
The first came from an email I sent about attaching a memorial to the correct cemetery. While researching my husband's family in Pennsylvania I came across the orphan record.
Later in the day Chris emailed thanking me for the obituary and cemetery information. I then inquired about her relationship to the family. She replied back they were her husband's Colehouse ancestors. After some back and forth we realized there was a very distant relationship.
It all began with an email about my husband's 3rd great-grandmother, Susannah Allebach Ruth.
For sometime I have researched the Ruth family Mennonite roots in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
At several points you may have found me banging my head on the desk in sheer frustration.
The variation in name spellings itself has caused many a hair pulling incident. Then you add the seeming circles of relationships. Which Ruth married into the Cassel family? Am I researching the correct Detweiler line?
Recently I decided to take a break so not become completely burned-out by the twists and turns this family presented.
Then out of the blue came Susan's email message. She supplied Find-A-Grave links to the parents of Susannah Allebach Ruth! The correct Allebach family line!
Susan also has contracted the genealogy bug. She uploads photographs from various family cemeteries in Pennsylvania. Many of which are my husband's ancestors.
I emailed to thank Susan for the information and ask if she was related. She responded with details about her Allebach family line. Without a doubt she is a distant cousin of my husband! Currently I am in the process of determining the exact relationship.
Most importantly we are now traveling the correct Allebach road!
Moral of the story? Communicate! I could have ended my contact with a simple thank you. Reaching out to connect has reaped amazing benefits!
Many thanks to Chris and Susan. True genealogy angels!

Connecting on Find-A-Grave
6 comments:
Fantastic! Don't you just love it when you find surprise connections like this? Yes - we need to communicate constantly. :)ReplyDelete
Bravo. That's the way to a great week!ReplyDelete
My sister, a non-genealogy geek, thinks I'm nuts to ask people for help and information. Why wouldn't I - the worst they can do is say no?ReplyDelete
Good for you - what great finds!
This is awesome! Communication is the key!ReplyDelete
Love reading about genealogy success stories. Congratulations on yours!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the lovely comments! It was wonderful to connect with a fellow family historian. Already have tons of new info for the tree. Always pays to ask!ReplyDelete

| Hello, Pummelo!
First broadcast

Japanese themes
Hello, Pummelo! (Japanese: ウィナーズカップ!フルバトル6VS6!! Winner's Cup! Full Battle 6 VS 6!!) is the 111th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on September 2, 1999 and in the United States on September 23, 2000.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
After winning his way to the final competition for the Orange League Winner's Trophy, victory seems a long shot for Ash as the Gym Leader deploys a powerful Gengar that topples one of Ash's Pokémon after another.
Pummelo Island is now in sight. However, before Ash and his friends arrive, they notice a mysterious Pokémon flying around, which seems to be a Dragonite.
On reaching the island, the first thing Ash does is register himself for a battle against Drake, the Supreme Gym Leader of the Orange Crew. After having his Badges verified, he is told that his battle will be held on the following morning and that it will be a Full Battle. Ash is now ready to start training, but Misty tells him that first he needs to know where the stadium is. After being shown the Pummelo Stadium, (which is very hard to miss) Ash is shown the Palace of Victory where all victorious Trainers are immortalized. But no one has beaten the leader in a long time, and the reason why no one was able to beat the leader is because his Dragonite was too strong to be defeated.
The said leader is very disappointed about this. Though he doesn't have any time to dwell on it as Team Rocket have turned up to steal his Dragonite. However, one Hyper Beam later and they are already blasting off.
Ash is now ready to get into training. But there is a problem... Snorlax won't wake up. On consulting Nurse Joy, she states that Snorlax probably won't wake up for several days. This means that it won't be able to battle. Ash calls Professor Oak, who suggests using one of his other Pokémon instead. Kingler, Muk and one of his Tauros turn up, and Ash decides to go with Tauros due to the "beginner's luck" factor that won his battle with Kingler and Muk back in the Indigo Plateau Conference. Ash puts Snorlax's Poké Ball on the transporter and receives a very happy Tauros in return.
That evening, Jessie and James contemplate their humiliating defeat. A van drives past informing everyone that a challenger has been found who will battle the next day. Meowth likes this as they can get Dragonite when the challenger has softened it up a little.
The next morning, Ash arrives at the stadium ready to battle. After the customary handshake, the referee states that the state of the field will change after one of them has three Pokémon faint. As he says this, the flat field disappears and is replaced by a field with rocks on it and a pool in the middle. Outside, Team Rocket are more amazed at who the challenger is. But Meowth states that this will just make things all the more interesting.
Drake starts with Ditto, while Ash starts with Pikachu. Ditto naturally starts with Transform to turn into a copy of Pikachu. Pikachu begins with a powerful Thunder, and then Ditto uses its own Thunder. Next, they both use ThunderShock at the same time. The rocks begin to crumble, hurting Pikachu but not Ditto, who calmly hops from one to the other. Ditto starts using Agility, while Pikachu tries to shock it with Thunderbolt, but no luck. Ditto then hits Pikachu with Thunder, but it has no effect as Pikachu channels it to the ground with his tail. Pikachu then uses Quick Attack and Ditto use the same move too, until they meet each other in the air. Both fall to the ground, though Pikachu manages to get up and knock Ditto with his tail to win the round. Tracey realizes that Pikachu managed to win because he was in better physical shape. Ash has done really well to get past Drake's Ditto but he still has another five Pokémon to face.
Drake is proud of his Ditto for battling and is proud of Ash on his first victory and tells Ash that he's going to get rocked by his next Pokémon, an Onix! Ash recalls Pikachu and sends out Squirtle. Drake seems pleased with this. As Ash tells Squirtle to use Water Gun, Drake tells Onix to use Dig. As the rock snake burrows underground, it dodges the Water Gun. Ash is now unsure as to what to do, finally deciding to send Squirtle into the water. However, Onix gets to Squirtle first, knocking it into the air before holding it in a Bind. Squirtle manages to counter this by using Withdraw followed by Hydro Pump. A final Skull Bash finishes the round.
Drake is surprised at Ash's second victory, but tells him that he won't have a ghost of a chance against his third Pokémon, Gengar. Misty and Tracey are worried as no Pokémon is strong against a ghost, so Ash decides to try his beginner's luck strategy and sends out Tauros. Drake thinks Ash has finally slipped up. Tauros uses Fissure, but Gengar just jumps into the air, making the ground attack useless. Gengar then uses Confuse Ray on Tauros, who starts running into the rocks. Ash has no choice but to recall Tauros.
Ash decides to counter Confuse Ray with Ice Beam, and sends out Lapras. Lapras avoids Gengar's initial attacks by going underwater, coming out to hit Gengar with a Water Gun. Gengar then tries Night Shade, so Lapras uses Ice Beam. The attacks collide and an explosion engulfs the arena. Who will be left standing?

- When the characters see Dragonite at the start of the episode, the theme used is Dragonite Takes Flight from the score of Mewtwo Strikes Back.
- In the Japanese version, the Dare Da? Pokémon was Ditto. It appeared to be a Pikachu at first, but then transformed back into Ditto when it was revealed.
- During the battle between Pikachu and Ditto, Pikachu's Quick Attack and Ditto's Agility looked the same.
- Drake's Gengar was able to hover over Tauros's Fissure attack, rendering it useless. While at the time this was impossible in the games, the concept of certain Pokémon (including Gengar) floating to evade Ground-type moves would later be implemented.
- The book Thundershock in Pummelo Stadium is based on this episode.
- Even though Ash caught his Tauros in a Safari Ball, from this episode onward, he will always be seen to have it in a normal Poké Ball.
- Tracey says that there is no type which would be really strong against a Ghost-type Pokémon. In reality, Ghost-type Pokémon are weak against themselves.
- The announcer called Gengar's Confuse Ray "Confusion Ray".
- When Ash calls back his Tauros, part of his glove is missing.
- In the scene where Ash scans his Pokédex for Dragonite, the statue is above it, and not under it.
Dub edits
- Pikachu's Jukebox: What Kind of Pokémon Are You?
- Although the dub implies that Drake is merely a fifth Gym Leader in the Orange League, the Japanese version specifically uses the title Head Leader to denote his importance.
- When Ash is thinking about what Pokémon to use against Gengar, Tracey originally tells Ash to use Psychic or Ground-type moves against the Ghost/Poison Pokémon, making Ash choose Tauros due to him knowing Fissure. In the dub, Tracey says that there is no type that is really strong against a Ghost-type Pokémon, which Ash answers by saying, "Now's a good time as any for a little beginner's luck."

For years the rugby world has craved a response to the iconic All Blacks Haka, but from a set of schoolchildren from a Doncaster Junior School? I don't think anyone expected a reaction in this nature.
New Zealand's rugby league side were left stunned on visit to Norton's Junior School, when the minors returned an ancient traditional Kiwi dance to the reigning World Champions.
Around 50 children gave the Kiwi's a warm welcome before the visitors performed their own war dance - it was hard to tell who was more intimidated.
The Mayor of Doncaster, Ros Jones, said: "It is a major coup to be welcoming the world champions New Zealand- and the Cook Islands to Doncaster.
"The town has a proud history in rugby league and I am delighted that schoolchildren got to perform the Haka. They put on a tremendous display, it was really quite fearsome!
"I am sure that it will remain in their memories for some time and we thank the Kiwis and the Doncaster Rugby League for helping make this visit happen- and of course the schools for taking part."
New Zealand are due to visit a further 14 schools whilst they prepare for the upcoming Rugby League World Cup, which kicks off 26th October.

Did you know you can still decide you like new things even when you are at that golden age?
Did you know you can still decide you like new things even when you are at that golden age?
I was invited to go ice fishing for the first time at Red Lake in northern Minnesota. While I wasn't sure I would even like ice fishing and the drive was a bit daunting, I chalked up the idea as a new experience.
At midnight on Thursday (Friday morning), we packed the truck and headed to Joey and Sue Helgets for the beginning of what could be the first and last ice fishing trip.
Once out on the ice, I checked how deep it was after the holes were drilled and decided the 18" or so of ice would hold us.
The fishing wasn't so hot on Friday so Joey, Sue, Sputz and I started to play a board game called Carbles. It's a cross between Chinese Checkers and marbles. I'd only played it one time during Christmas so we did our best to interpret the rules, even going so far as to make a call to my sister-in-law Tammy. I think it was about 2 a.m. when we finished and headed to bed.
After hooking up with Dave Berdan, we re-located the fish house. The wind blew and the snow flew cold and strong around us. Finally about 2:30 Saturday afternoon the fish started biting and we just about had our limit before they went as cold as the weather.
Another mean game of Carbles and in the wee hours of the morning, it was time to turn in, for when the sun rose, it would be a long drive home.
I'm not sure if I passed the fishing partner test. I guess I'll just have to see if an offer to go comes up again.
Thought for the week: Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused. – Author unknown.

Why Microphones Are More Important Than Preamps - Short Answer
* Microphones introduce far more amplitude, phase and distortion artifacts compared to preamps. These artifacts can be used to good effect to color the source.
* Microphones operate in 3D space. Moving a mic relative to its source and room boundaries offers far more control over recorded sound than a preamp which operates in 2D space (no spatial control over amplitude vs. frequency artifacts).
* Microphones share an important attribute with their human users - energy transformation. Preamps simply amplify and do not change input energy type into another form.

Outside Consultations:
To ensure that renal biopsy material is handled optimally, please follow the proper specimen processing procedures described below and complete the Renal Biopsy Request Form.
These procedures establish criteria for judging specimen adequacy and detail proper specimen division for light microscopy (LM), electron microscopy (EM) and immunofluorescent (IF) studies. They also describe optimal tissue fixation and preparation techniques.
The Renal Biopsy Request Form includes a second page with a collection guide.
Request Form:
Certain essential data must be included on the request form: i.e. patient age and sex; duration of symptoms; concomitant disease processes; physician differential diagnosis; presence or absence and quantity of hematuria and/or proteinuria; and the requesting physician's signature.
This information is absolutely necessary for proper specimen processing and accurate diagnosis.
Click here for complete instructions.
Specimen Handling:
Although open renal biopsies are almost always adequate, percutaneous biopsies provide less tissue and require greater care to ensure appropriate processing. As a consequence, the pathologist should evaluate needle biopsy specimens. The pathologist can identify blood-filled glomeruli with a hand lens, inverted ocular, or dissecting microscope.
Unfortunately pathologically damaged glomeruli are usually bloodless and cannot be easily identified by these methods. However, specimen transillumination with an ordinary light microscope at low power allows visualization of bloodless glomeruli (Hefter & Brennan, 1981). With this technique, glomeruli are pale tan against a darker background. Glomeruli are easier to see in thinner areas and may be difficult to identify with certainty in thick biopsy specimens. Slight flattening of the specimen cylinder by gentle compression with a slide usually remedies this problem and does not produce artifactual changes.
Dividing the Biopsy Specimen
When only a small amount of renal tissue is available, the clinical history and diagnostic considerations will help in deciding which techniques are most likely to provide diagnostic information. However, conventional light microscopy preparation can usually be omitted in such situations, since considerable information can be derived from light microscopy examination of plastic embedded tissue prepared for EM (Hoffman & Flores, 1981).
Contact Dr. Mikhailov at -2677 if there are questions concerning processing for the renal biopsy. The Renal Biopsy Request Form includes a second page with a Renal Biopsy Collection Guide that you may find helpful.
Sending the Specimen:
Specimens may be sent by courier or by Federal Express/UPS and should be packaged according to the carrier's regulations. Be sure to include the completed Renal Biopsy Request Form.

These team meetings provide focus, direction and accountability for the team and for each team member, when properly structured and facilitated. "Regular team meetings can have a critical role in structuring your dairy for success," says Kristy Pagel, Regional Sales Manager, Diamond V. "The most effective meetings always have objectives, and these objectives help focus the team during the meeting itself. By the conclusion of the meeting, the team has developed a specific action plan. This action plan reflects the meeting's discussions and provides direction for the team and each team member. "In reality, team members are asked to personally agree to the action plan as a viable means to move the business forward. In addition, each team member is held accountable for the actions they are assigned as well as for the team's overall activities and results." Pagel recommends that team meetings have two over-riding purposes: one tactical, the other strategic. Tactical purposes relate to immediate concerns, i.e. how to manage or solve today's operating challenges. Strategic purposes relate to longer-term planning and goals, i.e. the big picture. A tactical discussion might, for instance, might address how to handle: • The cows in a certain pen being out of feed several days last week, • An employee repeatedly being late for work, or • Cow pushers not opening the gates for the feeder. The team's strategic discussions deal with longer-term planning for success. The discussions might, for instance, focus on expansion planning, succession planning, and / or employee training and development. Strategic discussions could deal with how to help an employee develop stronger management skills or how to manage challenges related to the budget, finances or an improved heat abatement plan. Members of the team can vary somewhat but should include the dairy's owner(s), key managers and key advisors and influencers. Each of these team members should be willing to actively participate in discussions. Each should be concerned with the dairy's success and committed to the owner's goals. Each should actively listen, be willing to work with other team members, and offer challenging ideas as appropriate. Ultimately, each team member will be expected to accept responsibility for and take specific actions to launch the dairy toward further success. Back to news

Hahahahahha you are such a **** poster. You've come back even ****ter than prior to your absence.
To claim that Dhoni knock at the MCG cos them the game is a disgrace. India were just awful in that match, and they were in a dire situation when Dhoni walked out.
And nobody said anything about the umpires so stop talking rubbish.
Fact: Dhoni's international T20 record isn't great. No denying that.
Fact: Dhoni is 50 times the T20 batsman than Michael Clarke.
I hope you enjoy Michael Clarke's next innings though Streetwise.

Streetwise = Michael Clarke. Is the only rational explanation.

Clarke, imo, still has a role to play in t20. There's still a place for classical stroke play, so to speak, in t20, not just the slap and hope players.
At the moment, I don't think coming in at number three when the team has got off to a flying start is his best position, but who would you rather have in the Australian line up (from and Australian point of view) to be batting when they're 4/20 on a poor West Indian pitch trying to get the team to 120? I know I'd feel safer with Clarke there than almost anyone else.
He should be playing a floating role and play it by ear I think.

Snapshot: Earthwise Orange & Eucalyptus laundry detergent is a powder detergent for top- and front-loading washing machines. But how well does it remove stains in a TOP LOADER?
Unlock all of Consumer from just $7 for 7 days
Overall score includes:
Everyday grime (35%)
Collar & cuff stains (20%)
Grass (15%)
Olive oil (6%)
Tomato (4%)
Make-up (4%)
Chocolate ice cream (4%)
Baby food (4%)
Motor oil (4%)
Blood (4%)
All individual stain tests are performed on swatches with the applicable stain. We measured the recommended amount of detergent for a normally soiled load and used this to wash the test loads at a temperature of 20⁰C.
For this test, both the front- and top-loader were set on "normal" wash cycles — the type of wash cycle an average consumer is likely to choose to wash an everyday load.
After washing, we measured how much dirt was removed from each swatch. We did this with a spectrophotometer (which measures how much light reflects off the swatches). It's more accurate than the human eye.
Each load contains two swatches of each stain and each detergent was tested twice.

Rain from Hurricane Isaac and its aftermath have caused the closure of several parking lots for LSU's season opener against North Texas on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. CDT.
• Lot G (next to Bernie Moore Stadium) and Lot O/Grass (on Nicholson Drive in front of Natatorium) are closed for the North Texas game due to heavy rains that have saturated those grass lots.
• Lot L (between the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and the Dub Robinson Tennis Courts) is closed due to medical special needs associated with activities in the Carl Maddox Field House and the Maravich Center.

I just went ahead and changed it to open source [approval pending]. Source code is there, the WTFPL meets all 10 criteria of the Open Source Definition AND the 4 freedoms of the Free Software Definition.
Fair license doesn't allow warranty, even if it's highly unlikely that someone would put a warranty.
it also require the license to be included with the works, something that WTFPL doesn't require.
it doesn't cover everything that WTFPL does.
"Open source" is a way broader term than what the OSI definition encompasses. If we're to judge by Wikipedia, "Open Source Initiative" is hardly mentioned in the whole page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source
So IMO software under the WTFPL license could clearly be labelled as "open source" or "free software". The OIS did not state that WTFPL was not open source, but only that the license in itself was in their opinion unnecessary, as it does not bring anything that is not covered by the Fair license. I could fork the MIT and name it the "Akien License", it would probably be rejected by the OSI, would that make my work closed source?
i call BS on their rejection reason, quote: `Mr. Michlmayr moved that we reject the WFTPL as redundant to the Fair License. Mr. Tiemann seconded. Passed unanimously.`
in other words, it fit their definition as stated on http://opensource.org/osd but got rejected cause it like another license.
yeah i agree at some point, I understand that it is not closed but if we use the term open source we should follow OSIs list. so we could either add another tag eg: other or we need to rename open source to something that covers all those licenses(afaik there there doesn't exist such a term eg: free software is used by the FSF but they also reject other licenses that are appoved by the OSI(see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_softwar... )
I also find the term "free software" confusing an the OSI has a clear defination, which will avoid such discussions under every single game with an unknown or not yet covered license
I agree, especially since the WTFPL is even considered FSF-free and GPL-compatible. It's not the best license out their, but can't be considered closed source. OSI rejected the license because they believe it's too similar to public domain dedication - public domain is still free though.
Even still, isn't calling it open source much more accurate than calling it closed source?
its free the WTFPL isn't osi approved: http://opensource.org/minutes20090304

Have you got any links marky?
Would like to know if folks here are aware of this concept called Deep search engines.
These are specialized search engines which search the net for information about a person which might not be available on google search.
Everytime you use paypal to pay someone your name is available to the psychic with your address. That is enough information for a deep search.
Have you got any links marky?
Still looking but came across this pretty quick. Time to test it out!
- - - Updated - - -
Not seeing anything close to paypal transactions listed...
Google is not the only search engine in existence; other engines of search exist. What they all have in common, Google included is that the vast majority of people only scratch the surface of their abilities. I am certain most people do not access the Deep Web; doing so could very well make someone seem psychic.
I had read about this in a CNN article about companies using deep web search on potential candidates.
Here is the article - http://money.cnn.com/2010/06/14/news...tune/index.htm
One way to check would be to inject false information into the DeepWeb. If this information came back from a "psychic" you'd know he or she was deep-diving, and were fakes.
I had this funny experience with a psychic called Sherry Calina ( negative reviews on this forum)
I had joined one short course many years back and dropped out very quickly. I had some internet discussions when I was there. Currently my job has nothing to do with that course nor ever will. Sherry seems to have googled this information and gave it to me during a reading.
Paypal transactions don't come up during deep search nut your email is available to the psychic because of paypal. They seem to do deep search on the email ID itself.
Yeah I used msn.com which uses Bing to search. From what I could see, all a "deep search" does is compile all of your information into one handy database. It was interesting and unnerving the amount of information that pipl site had on me when I looked myself up. FREE info that it previewed included old address excluding house numbers but the entire 9 digit zip code which if I'm not mistaken can reveal an exact address, as well as the names of my immediate family. Obviously if you pay, more info is revealed.
I think it's wise to always keep in mind that certain information could be accessible to psychics and be overly cautious on believing their "wow" factor without considering if it was accessible. For example, if a psychic says they sense I come from a big family, that's something that could be determined by looking me up using one of these deep searches. When Yaya picked up on the fact that a female on my dad's side considered or did become a nun, it vaguely struck me as familiar. I asked my mom and confirmed that sure enough, my dad's sister (my godmother) had almost joined a convent (serious consideration) soon after her husband left her. There is NO online record of this because this literally occurred over 25 years ago in Puerto Rico. Even if she had entered a convent, there's no way a psychic could have used ANY search engine to find that information out.
Sherry givens did the same thing.
This is scary. Thanks for this info. Mine and my daughters info are all there and I have to figure out a way to take it off. Unfortunately I tried to send Pipl.com an email and yahoo said it was an invalid email address.
Getting your information off Spokeo and all the bigger ones like Intellius and those profile search engines. Even some of the caller ID apps have your full name for those people who make friends online....and eventually give out your real number some of the people don't know my name, they know me by my site username but if they use those apps they can easily get my name. So be conscious of that.
- - - Updated - - -
Also, about the deep searches I'm taking a basic computer course and yes there is deep web and dark web..things that show up on your everyday search engine google, yahoo ect are indexed which is why they show up in a list. Things on the deep web are not indexed you'd have to know where to go to find them like the exact ID which is why the dark web is popular for everyone doing illegal stuff.
The deep web isn't easily accessible though either from what I understand. I have accessed it before, but also had to have a certain browser to get to it. The deep web is no joke.
True openhert. You will have to purchase sorftware to access the deep web. It isn't anything like google. Stuff takes hours to access and it is basically ungovernable. Anything can be found and or purchased ... be aware though, no morals exist in this place. It's like a world beneath a world

At the single cell level, my research aims to understand the biological and physical mechanisms that power cell motility within three-dimensional environments such as connective tissue. Other research looks at the biophysics and biology of cell protrusions known as blebs. At the tissue level, my research is investigating what single cell properties influence tissue properties using simple cellular aggregates such as cysts. Another aspect of this research is the design of in vitro systems to study simple, yet important, morphogenetic events such as cell sheet invagination. To investigate these questions, the laboratory combines modern molecular and cell biological techniques with biophysical measurement and micromanipulation techniques derived from nanotechnology, microfluidic technology, and computational modelling.My laboratory is funded by the Royal Society, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, and the Human Frontier Science Program.

[download PDF file] The cortex is a 0.1 to 1 µm thick layer of actin and associated proteins that underlies the cell membrane and determines the shape of animal cells. Whereas the biology of some actin structures (lamellipodia, filopodia) is well understood, the events leading to the formation and subsequent regulation of a submembranous actin cortex are not due to the lack of a good model system. In this paper, we use blebs as model systems to study actin cortex assembly. We identify the proteins involved in cortex assembly as well as their dynamics and ultrastructural arrangement.

[download PDF file] Current models for protrusive motility in animal cells focus on cytoskeleton-based mechanisms, where localized protrusion is driven by local regulation of actin biochemistry. In plants and fungi, protrusion is driven primarily by hydrostatic pressure. For hydrostatic pressure to drive localized protrusion in animal cells, it would have to be locally regulated, but current models treating cytoplasm as an incompressible viscoelastic continuum or viscous liquid require that hydrostatic pressure equilibrates essentially instantaneously over the whole cell. Here, we use cell blebs as reporters of local pressure in the cytoplasm. When we locally perfuse blebbing cells with cortex-relaxing drugs to dissipate pressure on one side, blebbing continues on the untreated side, implying non-equilibration of pressure on scales of ~10um and ~10sec. We can account for localization of pressure by considering the cytoplasm as a contractile, elastic network infiltrated by cytosol. Motion of the fluid relative to the network generates spatially heterogenous transients in the pressure field, and can be described in the framework of poroelasticity.

[download PDF file] Many organs adapt to their mechanical environment as a result of physiological change or disease. Cells are both the detectors and effectors of this process. Though many studies have been performed in vitro to investigate the mechanisms of detection and adaptation to mechanical strains, the cellular strains remain unknown and results from different stimulation techniques cannot be compared. By combining experimental determination of cell profiles and elasticities by atomic force microscopy with finite element modeling and computational fluid dynamics, we report the cellular strain distributions exerted by common whole-cell straining techniques and from micromanipulation techniques, hence enabling their comparison. Research Neutrophils are the primary cells of the immune system responsible for detecting and preventing bacterial infections, as well as driving inflammation. Neutrophils circulate freely in the bloodstream, and when passing through an inflamed region attach the blood vessel wall, traverse the endothelium (transendothelial migration), and migrate through the connective tissue to the site of infection (chemotaxis). Here a neutrophil (in red) is shown migrating through a 10x3µm microfluidic channel towards a source of chemoattractant (in blue). Scale bar = 5µm. In collaboration with Dr Irimia, Massachusetts General HospitalFigure 1: Neutrophil ChemotaxisFigure 1: Neutrophil Chemotaxis Dissociated cells of the animal pole of xenopus embryos display characteristic dynamics of the cell membrane, known as circus movements. In these cells, a local delamination of the cell membrane from the cytoskeleton (a bleb) can propagate around the cell as a traveling wave which circles the cell periphery multiple times. This wave progresses through cycles of delamination. In this image, the blastomere has been injected with RNA encoding the PH domain of phospholipase C _ tagged with GFP, which highlights the cell membrane. Three separate time points showing the progression of the traveling wave have been superimposed in the following colours: red t=0s, green t=5s, blue t=10s. Scale bar=10µm.Figure 2: Circus movements in xenopus blastomeresGiven appropriate culture conditions, some cells can form structures akin to a football with each patch of the football being a cell. These structures are known as cysts and are a good model of multicellular structure as they are amenable to genetic manipulation, mechanical testing, and comprise sufficiently few cells (~100) that they can be modelled computationally. In this figure, a phase contrast image of a MDCK cell cyst is shown. The thickness of the rim of this cyst is approximately 10 µm and comprises only one cell. In the top left corner, the shadow of a micropipette used to deform the cyst can be distinguished.Figure 3: MDCK cell cystBlebs are spherical cellular protrusions that occur in many physiological situations. Two distinct phases make up the life of a bleb each of which have their own biology and physics: expansion, which lasts ~30s, and retraction, which lasts ~2min. During expansion, the cell membrane delaminates from the actin cortex and fills with cytosol. Growth stalls as an actin cortex reforms under the bleb membrane, and retraction starts, driven by myosin-II. In this figure, the cell membrane has been removed with detergent and the actin cytoskeleton stabilized with phalloidin. The cell has been imaged using scanning electron microscopy revealing the cage-like structure of actin filaments within retracting blebs.

Somerset rebels power to win at Rye House Rockets
PUBLISHED: 09:00 14 April 2014 | UPDATED: 09:00 14 April 2014
The 'Case's' Somerset Rebels travelled to the Hoddesdon home of the Rye House Rocket without the benefit of skipper Ollie Allen, who was still suffering the after effects of the previous evenings crash at the Oak Tree Arena, writes Dave Thompson.
Allen spent last season at Hoddesdon, as part of the Rockets septet, and his experience of the circuit could have proved invaluable. On the plus side the Rebels tracked Pontus Aspgren, who was also a member of that very same Rockets side. Despite having a good season in Hertfordshire, Aspgren was not retained by the Rockets promotion, but Rye House's loss has proved to be the Rebels gain.
Having dropped points in the previous day's encounter, at home to the Peterborough Panthers, the Rebels were looking to make amends by maximising their points haul from this Southern Group match in the Premier League Cup.
The Rebels started steadily, with two shared heats, both of which were won by a home rider, with the Rebels packing the places. In Heat 1 all four riders broke level, with Eddie Kennett coming across from the outside gate and tightening up the field as they entered the turn. He led out of the turn, with Todd Kurtz and Nick Morris close behind. Mathieu Trésarrieu was trying to get on terms with the Rebels duo, when he fell on the first bend of lap 2. He regained his machine and continued a long way behind. Kennett won comfortably to share the points.
Paul Starke had only just entered the track when his machine stopped, and wouldn't restart, but a quick change saw him at the gate very quickly, only for the errant machine to reappear just before the start, and for Starke to regain his original steed. When the tapes rose it was Luke Bowen who made the best of a level break, coming out of the first bend ahead of Starke, who ran wide in the next when challenging, he then dropped behind the field. He fought back and came with a good run to overhaul Simon Lambert off the last turn of lap 3, and share the points with Charles Wright in second spot.
Brady Kurtz shot off the line to lead on the inside of the first turn of the third heat, as Pontus Aspgren caught a big lift off the tapes. The two Jason's, Bunyan and Garrity ran wide in the turn, and Aspgren drove through the inside to take second place down the back straight. Once behind his race partner the pair pulled clear for an easy maximum advantage.
The Rebel's lead became 6-points, as they took a 2-4 win in the very next heat. Brady Kurtz had made a quick return to the track, as the rider replacement for Ollie Allen, and also made a quick getaway from the tapes, unfortunately it was a little too quick for referee Jim Lawrence's liking, and the race was immediately called back. In the restart he was again into his stride quickly, this time with no objections from the referee. He reached the turn alongside Steve Boxall, but had the better inside run, to lead off the next, moving Boxall wide in the process. Boxall's chase brought him no joy, with Kurtz holding a good lead to the flag. Paul Starke was easy in third, when Simon Lambert, looking extremely uncomfortable around the technical Hoddesdon circuit, retired at the end of the second lap.
The 6-point lead quickly became ten, as a second 'Full House' came the Rebels way in Heat 5. Todd Kurtz led on the wide line around the first turn, with Jason Bunyan and Jason Garrity in the minor places. Nick Morris was close up, and took a wide line around the final two bends of the second lap to account for Garrity. At the same point on the next lap, he repeated the move on Bunyan, who Kurtz was holding with some ease at the time. Once Morris took up station behind Kurtz, the race was done, and the pair came home with a cigar on.
Unsurprisingly Eddie Kennett appeared for the next heat, wearing the 'Black and White', to take a tactical ride. Pontus Aspgren took the rider replacement spot, but as the tapes rose he was only third away, but he made a neat cut back, driving under Kennett and Mathieu Trésarrieu before the second turn. Kennett set about regaining the lead, but Aspgren had all the solutions in his pocket, and never gave the Rockets number one an inch of daylight to the line, but the Rockets still took a 5-3 advantage, courtesy of the tactical ride.
Heat 7 took two re-runs before it was completed, due mainly to two level breaks, and some robust riding from Steve Boxall. The original start saw Boxall, Brady Kurtz and Pontus Aspgren reach the turn together, with Boxall making a lazy turn into the first bend, to keep the Rebels pair out, with the result that Kurtz took a fall, sending him tumbling towards the fence. All four were put back, and when the tapes rose again the original three fast starters were level again. This time Boxall tightened them all up, moving slightly off the inside line, again taking his time to enter the bend, moving Kurtz out into Aspgren, who was turning in, and the Swede hit the deck.
Start number three was almost a carbon copy of the other two, with all three combatants reaching the turn together. They all successfully negotiated the turn, and the Rebels pair moved wider to challenge on the wide line. It was just enough to give Boxall a clear run, and he took it up down the back straight. Brady Kurtz gave chase, but he couldn't close the gap, and Boxall eventually ran out the winner from a hard chasing Rebels pair.
The Rockets switched reserves in Heat 8, giving Luke Bowen the ride in place of Lambert, but the move was thwarted as Paul Starke made the best of another level break, to glide inside the fast starting Rockets pair of Bowen and Mathieu Trésarrieu. Once at the front he rode a superb race to hold off the strong challenge of Bowen. The Rockets man probed in and out to find away by the Worcester based rider, but Starke covered all his moves for all four laps. With Todd Kurtz stuck on the outside at the first turn, and left with nowhere to go, he never got in a blow on Trésarrieu, and the heat was shared.
The Rebels were back in charge in Heat 9, posting a fourth heat advantage on the night. In what was now becoming a familiar sight, the field broke level again, but it was the rider replacement entrant, Nick Morris who took up the running around the opening curves, demoting the Rockets Garrity and Bunyan to the minor places. Charles Wright was soon putting a pass on Bunyan, and as they ran onto the back straight he was in third, chasing Garrity. Bunyan put in a good chase, and as Morris pulled further away, Wright held off Bunyan's challenges to the line.
A shared heat followed. The Rockets pair of Kennett and Trésarrieu led up, but around the opening bends Pontus Aspgren and Brady Kurtz took the shortest way inside Kennett. Kennett fought back, and down the home straight at the end of the first lap, he moved back into third, passing Kurtz on the way to the line. Aspgren closed down Garrity, moving into the lead on the back straight of Lap 2. Once Aspgren hit the front there was no way back for the Rockets pairing, and he took a comfortable win.
A third maximum advantage in the Rebels favour was posted in Heat 11, when Todd Kurtz and Nick Morris bolted from the tapes. Morris lead inside the first turn, but Kurtz moved into the lead down the home straight on the second lap. Steve Boxall moved into third on the third lap, but by this time Kurtz, with Morris riding shotgun, had the race under lock and key.
With the Rockets now 14-points down, Heat 12 was the last time they could use their second tactical ride, Unfortunately they were short on options, as they had introduced Luke Bowen as a reserve change, and as it wasn't one of his programmed rides he couldn't take the tactical ride. The Rockets only alternative was Jason Bunyan, whose night at this point had been less than productive. As the tapes rose, Brady Kurtz caught a lift, and was beaten to the drop by the rest of the field.
Bowen made a superb start, and led up to the turn, with Charles Wright in second place. Brady Kurtz had recovered, and was challenging Jason Bunyan wide around the second turn, but couldn't make the move stick. He didn't panic, and gathered himself up for a smooth run around the next lap and a half, coming wide off the final turn of lap two to pass the experienced Rockets man as they entered the straight. Wright chased Bowen, but made no impression, leaving the Rebels to share the points.
Heat 13 saw Todd Kurtz take the rider replacement place and he flew from the tapes to lead up. His position at the head of affairs only lasted to the turn, as Eddie Kennett slipped through the inside, but Kurtz challenged back on the outside. Behind them, Nick Morris recovered from a sluggish start to demote Steve Boxall to last place with a neat inside move on the final turns of the lap, before moving in front of his partner on the next lap. Boxall was next to put a move on Kurtz, slipping inside the last turn of lap two to make third place his. Morris chased Kennett, but couldn't get on terms, and the Rockets cut the lead by 2-points.
They reduced the Rebels lead again in Heat 14, as they posted another 4-2 advantage. Luke Bowen made a rapid exit from the gate, leading before the turn, with Pontus Aspgren close up. Jason Garrity was next in line, with Paul Starke harrying him all the way, and that was the race in a nutshell, Aspgren putting Bowen under pressure, and Starke doing likewise to Garrity, but neither had any joy at the flag.
With 10-points separating the sides, the Rebels needed only to avoid a home maximum advantage to take all the points, and with Nick Morris and Pontus Aspgren nominated for the heat they had every chance of doing just that. The fly in the ointment was that they faced the Rockets top two, Kennett and Boxall. However once the tapes rose the Rebels soon put the issue beyond any doubt. The Rockets pair broke on a 5-1, but as they exited the second bend Boxall had moved wide to run down the outside off the turn, but he reckoned without Kennett doing the same, and the pair almost came together, leaving Boxall with nowhere to go. The Rebels pair required no second invitation, pouncing on Boxall, and running down his inside to demote him to last place.
Nick Morris chased down Kennett, and came with a good run from the back straight of Lap 2 to the finish line at the start of the third lap, and on the back straight of the penultimate lap he charged up the inside of Kennett to grab the lead, only to see Kennett come right back around him off the final bend of the lap. Morris hit back, repeating his pass down the back straight of the final lap, leaving Kennett in second. Any small chance Kennett had of regaining the lead went when he ran very wide on the last turn, but in truth Morris already had his measure. Aspgren was chased all the way by Boxall, but he was never in any danger of giving up third place, as the 'Case's' Somerset Rebels ran out 40-52 winners and took all the available points, putting them in the reckoning for a top two finish in the group.
Nick Morris was stand in skipper on the night, and produced a captain's performance with 14+2, including a good win in the final heat. Once again Pontus Aspgren figured well on the score chart, with 12+2. Both Kurtz brothers had a good showing, and the two reserves gave a good account of themselves. Ironically the measure of the Rebels success is the form of the Rockets Number One, Edward Kennett. In their two home matches to date, Kennett had only been beaten once by an opponent in ten rides, and in his next five the Rebels had lowered his colours three times.
After their escapades in Hoddesdon, the Rebels attentions turned briefly to their first Premier League action, as they took on Scunthorpe at the Eddie Wright Raceway on Sunday (13th April), where they took a single league point after suffering a narrow 2-point defeat, in another last heat decider. They will return to League Cup action when they take on Plymouth, both home and away on Friday and Saturday (18th and 19th April).
